AfrII and Farm Africa’s Livestock for Livelihoods (L4L) project is engaged in field activities to establish 200 active Nutrition Inner Circles (NICs) comprising of between 10-15 Women of reproductive age with children between 0-59 months. The project targets these groups because they are at a higher risk of malnutrition and other infections.

The NICs are being selected from the existing farmer groups in the project areas of Moroto, Nakapiripirit, Napak and Kotido disctricts in the Karamoja region and will be used to contribute to improved nutrition outcomes at household level through promotion of dietary diversity, infant and young child feeding, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), implementation of nutrition sensitive and specific interventions among others.
